Sometimes you can install the XP driver for a device in Windows 7 and if you have the driver extracted you should be able to install the driver via Device Manager. If that fails or if the driver comes in and EXE-format then running it in XP compatibility mode might work. Be aware that there might be stability problems when using XP drivers in Windows 7. What kind of device is it by the way?

"Terratec Phase X24 FW" external audio interface with driver's version 2.44.41 (the last avaliable on official site).It worked in XP with my desktop, and doesn't want to work under Seven with the same hardware.

I've tried to solve the issue for many monthes and want to try again now, cause Windows Update downloaded some compatibility patches, which doesn't helped and i hope, that there will come some new updates soon which will get my card back to normal working
state. Thanks for the answer.

GOt similar kinda problem. Using ASUS P5SD2-VM Motherboard. HAd been using Windows XP so far with no issues. As I switched to Windows 7 x64, drivers for it are not available at ASUS website. Tried drivers for XP and Vista, which though went useless,
saying drivers not compatible with this OS.

Drivers for Audio were automatically taken with OS, but Audio flickers continuously. Need serious help.
